Where can I get Scoop

You can download the latest release tarball: scoop_1.1.8.tar.gz You can grab the nightly build. Note: This is generated automatically from the current CVS, and may not be reliable! Get that here: scoop-1.1-nightly.tar.gz The developers strongly recommend CVS as the primary way to obtain Scoop, since releases tend to have pretty long delays between them. If you have CVS installed, do the following: cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@ scoop.versionhost.com:/cvs/scoop login cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@ scoop.versionhost.com:/cvs/scoop co scoop The above is two commands; each one must be on a single line. When prompted for a password for anonymous, enter 'anonymous' (without the quotes). For more CVS info, "Open Source Development with CVS" is an excellent online reference.

Where can I get help

There are several sources of information and support for Scoop. The first place to look is the scoop-help mailing list. You can browse the archives, or join the list. If you want to post a question, joining the list is strongly recommended. You can also join the #scoop IRC channel on SlashNET. For documentation, there is the (largely complete) Scoop administrator's guide. You can also read the current README and INSTALL files, from Scoop WebCVS (username and password are both "anonymous"). The admin guide is also included with Scoop, in the doc/ directory. If you have new feature ideas or requests, or descriptions of something you're working on for Scoop, this site is the place to submit them. You can also search this site for information. If you want to get your hands dirty, or have any questions about developing for Scoop, there is also the Scoop-dev list. You can browse the archives, or join the list. Bug reports and patches should be filed on the Scoop Bug Muncher. If you have any problems with this site or your user account, e-mail the Admin

Scoop Ad Server
By hurstdog , Section Project [] Posted on Mon Sep 24, 2001 at 12:00:00 PM PST
Below is a quick write-up about a possible scoop ad server. Please read it, and let me know what you think. If there is anything you would like, let me know. Anything you don't, let me know. (177 comments, 1070 words in story) Full Story >>

What Now?
By panner , Section Project [] Posted on Fri Sep 07, 2001 at 12:00:00 PM PST
A month ago, Scoop 0.8 was released, with all kinds of improvments over Scoop 0.6. Since then, not much has happened in development. But hopefully that will change before long, as developers find time to code new things, and maybe even some patches will come in :) So now is the time to speak up. What features do you want to see in the next release (Scoop 1.0, most likely)? How do you want those features to work? What do you think needs improvement? Post below any ideas you have, and want to see in Scoop. (88 comments, 271 words in story) Full Story >>

Scoop 0.8 Released
By panner , Section Project [] Posted on Mon Aug 06, 2001 at 12:00:00 PM PST
Scoop 0.8 is (finally :) out, with tarballs available on Sourceforge as both .gz and .bz2 files. It's been about four months since Scoop 0.6 was released, and this release includes many new features, bug fixes, and docs. For anyone that cares, Scoop 0.8 is available under the scoop-0_8-stable branch, while development will continue in the main trunk. The changelog for 0.8 is below. Update [2001-8-15 21:13:55 by rusty]: It should be known that panner and hurstdog share the vast majority of the credit for this release. They've really taken over the running of the project, and panner especially got the last few bugs fixed and did all the releasing for 0.8. So when you thank someone for this sucker, thank them! :-) (17 comments, 696 words in story) Full Story >>

All right, who broke the hotlist?
By janra , Section Project [] Posted on Wed Jul 04, 2001 at 12:00:00 PM PST
I first noticed it here, a couple of days ago. Then when I updated to cvs it showed up on my site as well. (2 comments, 87 words in story) Full Story >>

Performance and Caching Ideas
By rusty , Section Project [] Posted on Sat Jun 30, 2001 at 12:00:00 PM PST
Recent traffic on K5 has forced me to start thinking about performance again. I guess that's not a bad thing. :-) Essentially, as far as I can tell, performance of the current design is pretty much maxed out. It's as efficient as it can be without major changes. Also, I really like the current code design, so I'm reluctant to make major changes to it. Nevertheless, performance at high-load is still really not as good as I want (and need) it to be. So, as of right now, there are two major areas I can think of where performance could be improved without major disruptions. The first is archiving stories to keep the database relatively small, and the second is creating static cached pages for Anonymous viewers. I wanted to throw my thoughts out there and see if anyone could come up with major flaws or any suggestions about them. [Cross-posted on scoop-help as well. I wanted to hit as many people as possible] (20 comments, 1404 words in story) Full Story >>

"Section Denied" messages
By hurstdog , Section Project [] Posted on Fri Jun 29, 2001 at 12:00:00 PM PST
In rewriting a lot of the section permission stuff that I had the misfortune to forget was on a drive I reformatted, I've been able to do some things different/better. One thing I'm having questions about though is, how to handle sections/stories/comments the user doesn't have permission to see? (462 words in story) Full Story >>

Finally!
By hurstdog , Section Project [] Posted on Fri Apr 20, 2001 at 12:00:00 PM PST
Scoop-0.6 has been released! These past couple weeks not much has changed, just installer fixes. We wanted it to be pretty stable and clear before we fully released 0.6. Below are a few notes about future releases and cvs (most of the cvs has been said before, but some probably haven't seen it). (3 comments, 557 words in story) Full Story >>

Keeping track of cvs
By hurstdog , Section Project [] Posted on Thu Apr 05, 2001 at 12:00:00 PM PST
As of right now there is no one place that all of the latest cvs commits and adds are posted to (unless you count the web interface to the cvs repository, but then you need to look on a file-by-file basis). I've looked into setting up a scoop-cvs list, that would get emailed with every cvs commit, but sourceforge doesn't seem to have that feature presently. I did file a feature request though. What follows below is a few things I've been thinking about for alternatives to having a scoop-cvs list. (16 comments, 650 words in story) Full Story >>
